FAQ
What is a Namibia Family Safari?
A Namibia family safari is a type of safari holiday that’s designed specifically for families, both big and small. For mom and dad safari trips to Namibia offer the opportunity to relax and unwind in idyllic surroundings, whilst there are plenty of activities to keep the kids entertained. If grandpa and grandma are coming, they can be accommodated too. Here at SecretNamibia we will work with you to design the perfect family safari trip to that caters for your entire travelling group.
Namibia Family Safari Benefits
Reconnect With Nature
Visitors to Namibia constantly comment on just how remarkably calming and peaceful it makes you feel. From the sights and sounds of the natural world to the smell of the fresh, open air, there’s nothing quite like it. On a Namibia family safari, you can expect to visit some of the country’s most stunning and breath-taking sights, from the Skeleton Coastx3 to the Namib Desert. You can also expect to see some of the region’s most impressive wildlife given that Namibia is blessed with hundreds of species of exotic birds and mammals.
A Namibia family safari is the perfect chance to reconnect with nature and rediscover the importance of appreciating the world around you. It’s an opportunity to truly unwind and let go of the stresses of everyday life. It’s an experience you won’t soon forget, and one that you and your family will remember for the rest of your lives.
Build Family Bonds
Family bonds are essential, but it can sometimes be difficult to maintain that connection between family members when you’re enduring the pressures of everyday life. On a Namibia family safari, you can use this opportunity to get to know each other (and your children’s friends) a little better.
Not only will the experience help you connect with your children, but it will also help you form a stronger bond with your spouse, too. You can use the time on the open road to get to know each other more intimately. You can engage in conversation, play games, and make memories that will last a lifetime. Whether it’s the daily game drives you and your family can enjoy together or a long journey to your next destination, a Namibia family safari offers you the perfect opportunity to strengthen bonds and establish family traditions.
Teach Your Kids About Responsible Tourism And Conservation
A Namibia family safari is an excellent opportunity to teach your children about the importance of tourism and conservation. You can use the experience to show your children how tourism benefits local communities and the environment. By visiting places like Fish River Canyon and Sossusvlei, you could be helping to sustain the livelihoods of the people who live there. Not only that, but you could be helping to preserve and protect some of the world’s most magnificent landmarks. You could also be helping to protect the desert, desert-adapted animals, plants, and scores of bird species that migrate through the nation each year.
Combines relaxation & excitement
Namibia family safari holidays offer the perfect mixture of relaxation and excitement. From the moment you and your family land in this incredible Southwest African nation you’ll be able to try amazing activities that are guaranteed to get your pulses racing such as hiking, sand boarding or sand sledging. You’ll even encounter the semi-nomadic Himba people, an indigenous tribe whose way of life has not changed for thousands of years.
After all the fun and excitement of your excursions, retreat to the comfort of your stylish accommodation where you’ll be able to kick back and relax. Some lodges even offer childcare facilities so mom and dad can spend some quality time together safe in the knowledge that the little ones are being kept entertained and taken care of.

"The Secret Namibia Team was amazing to work with, giving us a memorable journey throughout Namibia!"
We gave Chrizell a tall task in planning our self drive Namibia trip. She was quick to connect with us and was thorough in understanding our travel requests, as well as lodging requirements. We were late in our request, but somehow, she was able to put together an amazing trip that had all the key places we wanted. The cost she gave us was very reasonable, and the payment process was very easy to complete (not always so easy with African vendors). We received an initial itinerary that we adjusted a couple of times (due to our requests), and Chrizell and Johan sent us updated agendas as the day approached. We were all set!
When we arrived in Windhoek, we were met in the airport by Secret Namibia, and given a packet with maps, hotel vouchers, some animal and bird identification books. We met with our vehicle provider (Samuel), and he explained the how-to's of driving the (brand new!) vehicle. That was great, as we went through even how to change the tire(s) (we had 2 spares). However, thank goodness, we had zero issues with the vehicle, which also had a cooler in the back for items that needed to be kept cool.
The route we were given optimized our time and travel. Accommodations were great to good, though the latter is all that is available in some remote areas we went to (and likely impacted by our late planning). We had an amazing time in all the places we visited, and would not suggesting skipping any of them. We visited Windhoek, Kalahari, Fish Canyon, Klein Aus (wild horses), Sossusvlei, Swakopmund, Damaraland, Palmwag Etosha NP, and Waterberg. The 3 weeks went very fast, and we truly enjoyed the self driving aspect of the trip. We specifically enjoyed doing the self drive safari in Etosha, where we went where we wanted, as well as stayed as long as we wanted, in the park. Fish River Canyon, Sossusvlei (you gotta climb Big Daddy Dune, and then the rush of going down it!), and Kalahari also stood out for us.
Watchouts on the trip are the number and locations of gas stations, lots of unpaved roads (we enjoyed this actually), and poor cell/wifi coverage in remote areas (which is to be expected). We actually had some wifi coverage in our vehicle, which was really helpful!
We have already recommended Secret Namibia to friends who have inquired. The excellent service, the freedom of self driving, and excellent pricing, make them an easy referral for us!

"Secret Namibia organised a wonderful tour that met all our requirements."
The video call to set up what we wanted to do was really useful. All the arrangements, hotels and travel plans, were of a high standard. In country support was great. They even organised a new hotel when we didn’t drive far enough.

"Dream Honeymoon Thanks To Secret Namibia"
Our honeymoon in Namibia was a dream come true, thanks to Secret Namibia.
Everything was flawlessly planned, from the smooth transfers between our lodges to the personalized suggestions for the best activities.
Johan ensured we had a perfect balance of adventure and relaxation, whether it was exploring the dunes or unwinding in the peaceful, romantic settings.
The communication throughout was exceptional, making us feel completely at ease. After all the wedding events we really needed to just switch off and the whole trip was awesome- better than we could have imagined.
We’re already discussing returning for our anniversary as we've heard about a combined safari they offer that includes a visit to Vic falls.
We’ll definitely be booking with Secret Namibia again! Huge Thanks.

"Superb Family Safari. Service & Support Outstanding."
Took the family on a safari to Namibia this summer and it completely exceeded our expectations. After doing a lot of research online, SecretNamibia stood out as the best option for families, and we couldn’t have been more pleased with our choice. Johan and his team made sure every detail was covered, and from the moment we booked, it was clear we were in expert hands.
Travelling with our two children, we were looking for a balance of adventure and comfort, and SecretNamibia delivered exactly that. They arranged everything, from the brilliant lodges to the smooth transitions between locations, making the entire trip effortless. Namibia is an unbelievably beautiful country, and each part of our journey brought something new.
In Etosha National Park, the wildlife was amazing – seeing lions, elephants, and giraffes up close was a dream come true, especially for the kids. But it wasn’t just the game drives that made the trip so memorable. SecretNamibia organised a range of activities that catered to the whole family, including guided nature walks and a special helicopter flight over the Namib Desert. Watching the sunrise over the dunes from above was absolutely breathtaking.
Our stay at the NamibRand Nature Reserve was a highlight, where we were able to relax and take in the landscapes. The combination of adventure and pure luxury made it feel like a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. Johan’s expertise and care in planning meant we were able to focus on enjoying every moment. Unlike other tour organisers, Secret Namibia are also based in Namibia which put us massively at ease in case anything went wrong (it didn't!).
If you’re thinking of a family safari, you'll be really taken care of with SecretNamibia. They made sure every part of our trip was extra special, and we left Namibia with about a million photos and memories we’ll cherish forever! 10/10 experience!
